The only thing changed is now they fill their cars with electricity or hydrogen. As such, they still care about having a steady reliable power source to keep their cars running. Talibia's attempt to take control of all Union electric power was thus given the appropriate response. The people in 00 merely diverted their attention from Middle East to the Pillars and pipes.

What matters isn't where the power is coming from, but that power is coming out.
